Michael S. Rose’s letter to the editor, "School abandons moral authority" [April 15], betrays a regrettable lack of understanding of the social justice curriculum at St. Xavier High School. I am a junior and attended the April 8 lecture about discrimination.
To set the record straight: For the duration of the presentation, the focus remained exclusively upon the importance of tolerating homosexuals - sons and daughters of God whom we are obligated as Catholics to love and accept. Not once did the conversation stray toward advocacy of any lifestyle. I realize that not everyone has the same daily opportunity to review the curriculum that students, being in class every day are given. However, this does not excuse the behavior of some opponents. |
Anyone who would continue to spread pernicious falsehoods about a supposed pro-homosexual agenda at St. X is either misinformed, intentionally lying, or both. It is as simple as that.
 I commend our principal, David Mueller, who has shown great integrity despite many outrageous accusations against him, including repeated implications that he has a secret agenda of advocacy of homosexual lifestyles. I was there, I heard what was said, and I have been part of classroom discussions held before and since. There is no scandal her - only solid, doctrinally sound education in the Catholic tradition.
